10463953 Alexanian AR, Bamburg JR: Neuronal survival activity of s100betabeta is enhanced by calcineurin inhibitors and requires activation of NF-kappaB. FASEB J. 1999 Sep;13(12):1611-20.

Cypermethrin, a direct and highly specific calcineurin inhibitor, mimicked the immunophilin ligands in its neurotrophic effect.

7531976 Richter A, Davies DE, Alexander P: Growth inhibitory effects of FK506 and cyclosporin A independent of inhibition of calcineurin. Biochem Pharmacol. 1995 Jan 31;49(3):367-73.

The role of calcineurin in CyA- or FK506-induced growth inhibition was investigated using the synthetic pyrethroid insecticides: cypermethrin, deltamethrin and fenvalerate, which are known calcineurin inhibitors.

In aorta, although RyR3 (the main isoform), FKBP12 and calcineurin were each present, RyR-mediated Ca (2+) release was unaffected by either FK506, rapamycin or the calcineurin inhibitors cypermethrin and okadaic acid in single voltage clamped aortic myocytes.

Last, calcineurin inhibitors FK506 and cypermethrin provided partial protection against thapsigargin-mediated apoptosis, suggesting that calcineurin overactivation contributes to thapsigargin-induced apoptosis.

Cypermethrin, a non-CsA-related calcineurin inhibitor, did not alter SERCA2b activity.

To examine the mechanism responsible for neuroprotection by these agents, pharmacologic inhibitors of several potential alternate signaling pathways (17-(allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin, rapamycin, cypermethrin) were evaluated with respect to neuroprotection.

The calcineurin inhibitor cypermethrin blocked carbachol-induced dispersion; whereas, two protein kinase C inhibitors (staurosporine and bisindolylmaleimide II) failed to block carbachol-induced dispersion, and the protein kinase C activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate failed to elicit dispersion.
